Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Chabat, a comedy legend in France, essentially made 'Santa meets The Office' — the bleak corporate satire landed harder with French audiences familiar with his Les Nuls sketch background.
The toy factory scenes intentionally echoed real French labor protests of 2017; elves chanting 'We are not numbers' was improvised.
